Our tine of IL .«I « - j —— P A R C E L POST E L IM IN A T E S THE M ID D LE M AN Officials o f the United States Department o f Agriculture have been testing out the parcels post as a means o f marketing eggs and have found it highly satisfactorily. The department has shipped 466 lots, consisting o f 9,131 eggs to various parts o f the nation and upon arrival at destination, only 237 eggs, or three and one half per cent o f the total were broken. Ten dozen eggs can be shipped in one container a distance o f 150 miles at a cost o f 4.7 cents per dozen. This includes the cost o f transportation end container. Oregon postal authorities advise that the farmers and farm ers’ wives o f this state are utilizing the parcels post extensively in selling farm products direct to the consumers, and excellent re sults have been obtained. Last winter when eggs were being sold by retailers at from 50 to 65 cents to the consumer, the farmers were only receiving 20 and 25 cents per dozen for their product, giving the "middleman from 30 to 40 cents on each dozen eggs he handled. The parcels post system o f marketing entirely eliminates the middlemen’s profit and divides the profit o f the middleman among producer and consumer. TH E OREGON PO TATO PATCH The Oregon Irish potato patch contains 49,000 acres this year and the total production will be approximately 6,311,000 bushels, according to estimates made by the United States Crop Reporting Board. The condition o f the crop is 92 per cent o f normal and the price at the present time is averaging around 46 cents per bushel. In Continental United States there are 3,708,000 acres plant ed to this product and this year’s production is estimated at 360,- I-abor Com m issioner........ O. P. Hoff Game W arden ...............

McKeynolds The following from the Portland Evening Telegram is worthy o f reproduction, as it shows the condition o f this country at the present time: Here is some simplified financial talk from A. L. Mills, pres ident o f the First National Bank. Mr. Mills was asked the exact cause o f the so-called financial stringency. He was requested to explain it in a manner which would be comprehensible to the mind not versed in finance. Here is what he said: “ Under ordinary circumstances, money and the things that money buys move much in the fashion o f an endless chain. Take, fo r instance, the Oregon wheat crop. The banks lend money on it before it is ripe. I f nothing happens, the crop is harvested, transported to Portland and shipped abroad. The shipper draws a 60-dav draft on London, and tenders it in payment o f the money he has borrowed. The draft is discounted, and. while the wheat is still on its way to Europe, the money for it is back in the United States. It all works like so much machinery. “ Now comes the European war and clogs up the machine. The endless chain is stopped. A most important link is broken. In a little while shipping will recommence, and the chain will go rattling around on its journey. Until then, it’s just a question o f sitting tight and not worrying.” Oregon banks have ample resources, and have besides un touched $11,000,000 o f currency provided by the V reeland-Aid - rich bill. Europe is producing nothing, and the United States is the storehouse on which it must draw for foodstuffs, as well as STATE money.
